Farm Fresh Blog

Saturday, January 23 2010

I have often said that what I like so much about living in the country is the comforting silence - no hum of the traffic, no sounds of the city. But if you take a moment to listen, life on a farm has its own sounds.

The sound of a sunrise and a silent moon . . .     

The sound of Bloodhound shaking her long ears . . . 

She is old and no longer works, but every morning, a shake of those ears starts the day.

 

The sound of goat feet rat-a-tatting across everything they climb over when I turn them loose . . .

                                                      

The sound of screaming dogs who are locked up so they won't get muddy feet . . . 

The sound of sheep hollering to be fed . . . 

The sound of one of the two remaining roosters as he greets the day . . .  

He celebrates another night that he escaped the Boogey Beast. This is Remus. His brother Romulus bit the dust.

The sound of animals eating hay . . .   

This is the most comforting sound in the world. There would be no more war if everyone just listened to the sound of animals eating hay.

And the sound of silence . . . as Border Collie stares at me and wills me to put down the camera and get on with the serious business of feeding everyone on the farm.

Yes, the sound of horses munching hay is the panacea for all the problems of the world that is for sure. Can you just imagine the great sleep people could get if they would put hay munching as a sound on those white noise machines! Hubby and I try to take a moment and listen to the hay munching and the geese honkings as they fly over...what a gift.
